STUDIO UPGRADE Gecko has recently upgraded to the latest Station Plus system from Fairlight, Australia based around the revolutionary CC-1 card and a Fairlight SX-48 interface. The new system has proved to be fast, efficient and friendly to operators, performers and clients alike. Double Thumbs up!! This text will be replaced by the flash music player. LOTEK MASTERING The latest LOTEK CD has been mastered and should be available very soon. It sounds great and lovers of classic reggae, cranking hip hop and sharp lyrics should check it out. Take a look at the youtube video for "Control Alt Delete" for a taster or have a listen to some samples on Track 2 in the player above. VOICEOVERS Voiceover work has been in full swing recently and work for radio station 2UE, Channel 7, Botanical Alchemy and Heritage Healers has been going very well. Mike Jeffries and Simon Westaway have graced us with their golden tonsils and tested the microphone cabinet and the vocal acoustics with great results. Have a listen to their work on the voiceover demo above. RUBIX DEMO MIX The Rubix demo has been mixed and can be heard soon on their myspace site. They are an up and coming independent Sydney band playing their own brand of psychedelic pop which sounds powerful and fresh. MONSTER POETIC ROCK Laurie Newsome is back in the studio doing drum tracks for his eclectic brand of poetic monster rock. Laurie is a stalwart of the Northern Tablelands music scene and his original material is unique, uplifting and powerful. Hopefully, we will soon have some sample tracks ready for download and a CD to follow. NEW MASTERING SUITE We have recently set up a mastering suite at the studio and mastering has been in full swing. The master floobydust has been liberally applied to the latest CD from Melbourne alternative Hip Hop artist, Clickjaw.We are also currently mastering album and single tracks for the new LOTEK CD. Both albums are sounding great and deserve a listen. PAUL KELLY LIVE AT THE STATE THEATRE Scott Watkins-Sully and I have been busy mixing Paul Kelly "Live at the State Theatre". It was a powerful show and Paul and the band put on a 28 song marathon including the whole of his latest CD, "Stolen Apples", and most of his extensive list of hits. Special thanks to Nathan Kirchner for magical work on the transfers above and beyond the call of duty. Definitely check this out if you're a fan of the great man. It can be downloaded at:
FRED CANOSA Fred Canosa has resumed work on his solo CD after an enforced break and tracking is going well. So far, Fred and friends have put together an eclectic bunch of songs ranging from folk to country to hard rock. Now things are rolling again, Fred should be talking about a release date sometime in the new year. All the best Greg Harrison
